all of my cars have the Remy type coil. I have some modern 6 volt I carry in case a problem arrises but came to prefer the old Remy type. I suggest you get the one Scott has as that type has provided me with the best results.

I have read some looked at some info and understand the clutch face is leather? Maintenance includes applying the neat oil. My clutch works great and is the best clutch I have ever operated in cars from the 20's. When does one do this?
Comments appreciated.

I will try to stay with 30w non detergent but 10w40 detergent ok also. I like a cool machine. 5 qts.

the coil from 1926 has condenser built in, if you replace it with modern coil you have to get condenser also. I would watch ebay one will pop up or try buy sell at this site. a modern alternative is one from early 50's 6 volt.

my big six gets 4-6 lbs when cold upon start and 1-2 lbs when hot. There is a conversation about cleaning the engine by including some kerosene in the oil see manual. some say non detergent some say detergent. I am told the non detergent keeps the engine cooler. an old time chevy guy very knowledgeable person told me the pump moves the oil and pressure is not as big an issue as today. he said 1 lb was ok. the pump has to circulate the oil. sometimes the gauges do not read so well, I had a 27 chevy gauge showing very little pressure got another gauge and had pressure.
on the side of the block lower front the is a plug that you can remove and blow out the oil passages.

my generator commutator housing does not look so nice on exposed end. The generator does not charge and I went to adjust the third brush and noted the condition of the housing end. I am thinking its pot metal, did not take it apart tried to adjust brush but quickly became nervous and put the band cover back on not wanting to break anything. Anyone got a nice 917 E Remy generator? Is there a source of commutator housing aftermarket????

Mine was red all the way up, tapped on spare many times got a blister but mostly went back down, stopped going down about 1/4 inch from no red cold. Seems to be working now probably if I beat on spare for a while would go away totally. Found solution here via AACA search.

I am thinking most Studebakers were 2 tone is it possible the Princess Lake Louise was 2 tone?
-
I am told these are original colors by a AACA old timer in his 80's who painted this very car in 1967 while working at a restoration shop, you are looking at his lacquer paint job. I am thinking Princess Louise Lake for color.

I see there is a hole in block for blowing out the oil distributor pipe.

the most important thing is fun! I have a 27 Chevy with a 28 engine. You can find the right carb somewhere. What about the air cleaner! Have more fun!
